Don't know about the exact reason for "return (foo);" grammar, but for such small commits I can say, that there are another point in style(9): ----- Stylistic changes (including whitespace changes) are hard on the source repository and are to be avoided without good reason. Code that is approximately FreeBSD KNF style compliant in the repository must not diverge from compliance. ----- So, such small commits are not very clever. By the way: I am also interested about the return (foo) rationale ;) -- Yours, LSD BOFH excuse #302: microelectronic Riemannian curved-space fault in write-only file systemReceived on Thu Mar 02 2006 - 11:52:58 UTC
